Interpretation:

Number of double bonds in the given compound has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

  • Molecular formula is a chemical formula that shows the total number of kinds of atoms in a molecule.  Some types of organic compounds and their general formulas listed below,

    OrganiccompoundGenaralformulaAlkaneCnH2n+2AlkeneCnH2nAlkyneCnH2n2

  • In the formula of organic compound two hydrogen atom should be subtracted from its general formula if the compound contains Π bond or ring.
  • Degree of unsaturation of an organic compound can be determined by using the equation,

(2n+2X)2n=numberofcarboninthemoleculeX=numberofhydrogenatominthemolecule

Several studies have shown that b-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, may play a role in preventing cancer. b-Carotene has a molecular formula of C40H56, and it contains two rings and no triple bonds. How many double bonds does it have?
Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Write a Lewis structure for methyl isocyanate and predict its bond angles. What is the hybridization of its carbonyl carbon? Of its nitrogen atom?
